He instead asked his team to play music. He and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem then stood there, swaying. Trump enjoyed himself so much that he instructed his team to continue blaring music through the speakers.

The audience was treated to Schubert’s “Ave Maria”, “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses, “Time to Say Goodbye” by Andrea Bocelli and Luciano Pavarotti, “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinead O’Connor, and a version of “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown.Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.Trump also played the camp disco classic, “YMCA” by Village People and a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” by queer singer Rufus Wainwright.
